I have the “non stealth” version of the 50 watt head with the dual concentric pots for the green and blue channel. For anyone that may be hesitant to buy a 50 watt EVH thinking it’s “only” 50 watts and it may not be “loud enough”, put that out of your head. Mine is the loudest, punchiest 50 watt head I ever played. It slays some of the 100 watt amps I’ve had. I use the EVH 4X12 cab with it and I can play anywhere. I’ve played outside gigs unmic’d with no problems and still had plenty of dial left to turn up even louder.

I'm glad they added the concentric pots because the shared volume knob rendered one of the two channels basically useless at best or killed your ears at worse by accidentally hitting the blue channel. I love EVH but that shared volume knob was just a mind boggling mistake. I'm glad they fixed it but damn.

Ooh, hell yeah. I really regret selling my old 5153, but, the unbalanced first and second channels were a bit annoying with no concentric pots, and no fender repairers were willing to do the mod, despite the newer ones coming out with it shortly after that hah (like a few weeks after I asked, the remakes with concentric pots came out). That and it was too big and loud to fit in my room. Plus biggest killer was no line in, cause I use guitar pro and youtube for most of my backing tracks. Still, I definitely want to get one of these. The sound of them is just so good. So nice to have such filthy gain tones, but also such crisp cleans. Big bonus from fender making them I suppose. My first proper amp, and will definitely be my next amp buy. Hot damn I love these amps

Hey there RIFFS/BEARDS/GEAR, great demo with some awesome playing, tones! I´m about to pull the trigger on one of these. Question; is there more then enough gain on the blue/red channels for that liquid lead, ENDLESS SUSTAIN lead tone? I´m not a chuga, chuga, need tight low end metal guy, what I´m after is the ultimate in saturation/sustain for soloing. Lastly, how´s the master volume taper (?) I´ll be doing a lot of living room volume level playing so being able to get nice tone/sustain at low volumes is vital for me. Thank you so very much!

@collinputney2018 3 жыл бұрын

Fluff!! I know you’re a bit of a fuzz guy, would you consider doing a video running different fuzzes into different high gain heads? I’ve been thinking about getting a new head but I don’t know where to start because if you’re into the whole stoner/doom scene, there are either not enough videos talking about that, and if there are, the audio/video quality are so bad! The Stealth sounds mean as hell, I want one so bad, but again, hard to tell when it comes to my application. Great work as always! 😁🤘
